Whispers of Time Part 3

Shuichi let out a gasp as he closed his front door and leaned against it. He couldn't believe that after all the time he had spent trying to forget Yuki, he had landed up being the man's neighbor. If the situation hadn't been so serious, he would have laughed at the irony of it all. Four years ago, he would have killed to be near Yuki, but now all he wanted to do was run away. The worst part was that the man hadn't even recognized him. That had hurt the most. It only proved that he was just another warm body to add to Yuki Eiri's list if conquests. It saddened him that the man could still affect him so deeply. He strengthened his resolve to never let himself be taken in by the romance novelist again. He had shed one tear too many for Yuki, and it was time to move on.

The next morning proved to be calming for Yuki. No noise, no distractions and no annoying neighbors blasting music. He started on his novel only to realize that for some reason his neighbor's face was haunting his memory. The boy had seemed so familiar. Who was he? Yuki growled in irritation, that idiot was still bugging him even though he wasn't there. He sighed as he walked into his living room and switched on the television. No point in trying to work if his mind couldn't concentrate. He was flipping through the channels when he suddenly saw the words "Bad Luck" appear on one of the channels. It was a variety show and "Bad Luck" were the guests for the day. He settled down on the couch and waited for the band to appear on screen. Yuki wondered what the brat looked like now. Did he still have that silly pink hair, skinny almost effeminate body and those huge sparkling purple eyes? After about fifteen minutes, the host finally announced the arrival of Bad Luck. Yuki held his breath as he waited to see Shuichi. The first one to step out was Hiro and then the Fujisaki boy. Both of them looked taller, more mature and more masculine. Finally Shuichi stepped out from behind the curtains.

Shuichi wearily trudged his way up to the lift and pressed the button. He waited for the lift and as soon as it came stepped inside and shut the doors only to have someone press the button and step into the lift with him. He was too tired to even look up and acknowledge the person in the lift with him. He felt a light tap on his shoulder and looked up to see a beautiful young woman staring at him. The lady smiled at him and he automatically smiled back. "You're Shindou Shuichi aren't you?" Shuichi looked at her warily wondering if she was one of his crazed fan's who was going to jump him any minute. The lady laughed and said, "I'm Luna Aoki, Yuki Eiri's girlfriend. Don't worry I'm not going to jump you or anything like that. I like your music a lot though." Shuichi grinned and murmured his thanks. Just as she was about to ask him something else, the lift doors opened. Shuichi waited for the lady to step out of the lift and then stepped out after her. Just as she was about to ring Yuki's doorbell Shuichi turned around and asked her not to tell Yuki that she had met Shuichi Shindou. The lady looked puzzled but agreed to do it. Shuichi quickly ran into his house before Yuki answered the door and saw him loitering outside his apartment.

Yuki was in a really horrible mood. That bitch Luna was the most persistent woman he had ever dated. He had dated her more than 5 years ago and she was still harping on how they were meant to be together. He wondered why she was suddenly at his doorstep. He had thrown her out of his apartment and even after doing so she had still been screaming that he would realize that she was the one and by then it would be too late. Yuki realized that he had too much restless energy and that there was no point in staying in his apartment. He decided that the best thing to do was to go out and burn off some of that energy. He grabbed his coat and left his apartment. Shuichi had gone downstairs to the lobby to relax for a while. He liked the apartment lobby as it had a lounge area where one could just sit around and chill out. His apartment was just as great a place to lounge around, but having Yuki Eiri next door kind of put a dampener on his mood. Shuichi realized that all his thinking had made him thirsty so he decided to walk down to Starbuck's to get a Café Latte.

Yuki was on his way towards his car when he noticed his neighbor walking out the gate. His eyes narrowed in anger and he stopped walking abruptly, wondering if he should leave him alone or confront him. Finally his anger won out and he stalked towards the boy. One minute Shuichi had been walking peacefully and the next thing he knew was that he had been shoved against a wall with Yuki Eiri glaring down at him with what had to be the angriest expression he had ever seen in his life. Shuichi was scared but he decided to play it cool, after all Yuki didn't even know who he was. He looked up at the man and in a casual tone asked, "What can I do for you?" Yuki almost applauded the boy for his calm tone. He leaned real close to the boy and whispered, "When did u grow a backbone, Shuichi?" Shuichi's eyes widened in shock, "How did u find out?" The blonde haired man smirked and murmured, "there is such a thing called the television and I happened to see you on it." Shuichi smiled wryly and sighed, "I should have realized that you would have eventually figured it out".

Yuki stared down at the boy with an unreadable expression before he swooped down and caught Shuichi's lips with his. The kiss was passionate and hungry as Yuki bit down on Shuichi's lips wanting to slip his tongue inside the boy's mouth. Shuichi realized what he was doing and quickly pushed Yuki away. The boy's eyes were hidden behind his spectacles but Yuki could make out the tension in the boy's body. Shuichi's voice was low and dangerous as he asked, "What the hell did you think you were doing? You come back here after four years, you yell at me for playing my music loud and the next thing I know you start kissing me! Who the hell do you think you are?" Yuki had an arrogant look on his face as he coolly replied, " Isn't that what you wanted? I bet you bought the apartment after you found out that I was going to be living next door. You think you can fool me with the change in your appearance? You're still the same naïve little brat you were four years ago." Shuichi's entire demeanor changed from angry to expressionless. His voice was soft as he whispered "believe what you want to believe. I don't really care. That kiss is the last thing you are getting from me. I don't know what you want from me but whatever it is, I can't give it to you. Goodnight Yuki." Shuichi shoved off Yuki's hands from around his shoulders and walked away. Yuki watched the beautiful man walk away with an unreadable expression on his face before he turned around and walked back to his car.
